Jimmy Crack Corn (Blue Tail Fly) chords
American Traditional

A augmentedA         E MajorE
When I was young I used to wait
       A augmentedA
On master and hand him his plate
A7A7            D MajorD
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
And brush away the blue-tail fly

A augmentedA           E MajorE
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
           A augmentedA
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7A7          D MajorD
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
My master's gone away

A augmentedA             E MajorE
When he would ride in the afternoon
            A augmentedA
I'd follow him with my hickory broom
  A7A7     D MajorD
The pony being rather shy
   E MajorE       A augmentedA
When bitten by the blue-tail fly

A augmentedA           E MajorE
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
           A augmentedA
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7A7          D MajorD
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
My master's gone away

A augmentedA        E MajorE
One day he rode around the farm
              A augmentedA
Flies so numerous that they did swarm
A7A7           D MajorD
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
The devil take the blue-tail fly

A augmentedA           E MajorE
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
           A augmentedA
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7A7          D MajorD
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
My master's gone away

Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly

A augmentedA           E MajorE
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
           A augmentedA
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7A7          D MajorD
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
My master's gone away

Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue-tail fly"
